Plainridge Racecourse Race 1

1609m

Prize Money: $16,736

DANCE MONKEY (5) has been racing well of late. Finished second at his latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 9 metres. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. GRACIES TOUGH GUY (3) has been a bit hot and cold and that continued last start when he finished third, beaten 16 metres, in a better performance at this track over 1609m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Meets a similar line up so he is capable of taking this out. COLT BENNETT (6) is on the radar after his last-start sixth over 1609m at this track a week ago. FLIRTIN JK (4) disappointed last time when eighth over 1609m at this track. Can do a lot better so worth considering.

Backing up quickly since being well beaten this track over 1609m, 7 days ago before that 6th (Fr6) over 1609m at Harrington Raceway, beaten 15 m by Madewrite (1:54.40) in 17500CLM on May 18 at $14.60. Likely to struggle again.

Didn't do much at the last run, 5th (Fr5) over 1609m at this track beaten 30 m by Isaac (1:51.30) on June 15 at $23.70. Before that 7th (Fr4) over 1609m at this track beaten 40 m by Denial (1:51.10) on June 8 at $19. Unlikely to threaten.

Solid performance when a close second behind Kill A Dragon at this track over 1609m on June 8 at $6.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 9 m finishing second behind Isaac at this track over 1609m on June 15 at $2.10. Perfectly placed to win again.
